It was stupid beyond belief to throw a FB on 0-2, when Marisnick has 30 Ks and ZERO walks!

Earth to Rivera, do you read stats?????

I remember screaming "Stupid!" at the TV in 2002 Game 6 when GA swung on a 2-0 count and grounded weakly to second for the first out in the 7th inning and us down 5-0.

I don't know why, but seeing 0-2 in your post caused me to recall that moment.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Soft grounder right into the shift.

 

That would have been as good a time as any to bunt. We need baserunners.

 

Bench his ass.

[Angel Oracle]

Cold Calhoun continues to be stubborn!    Sit his stubborn arse!

R/L match-up always trumps any sort or career history with Sosh.

Maybe young can't hit Verlander either?

Which taco stand on the way to Minute Maid did they find this bum working at?

I don't get it, can you explain?

[fan_since79]

Can Cold Calhoun and bring up Blash.

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe now, Parker can finally figure out what is wrong so far in 2018, and find out what made him so good a year ago??????

All brown people who aren't black or Mooslums work at taco stands.

There is no way this will get it done in the postseason or against good hitting teams. 

Only the Marlins, White Sox, and Braves have allowed more walks than the Angels. Two of these three teams are in contention for worst team in baseball.

This is getting old.  Another fake fan trolling the board!

i don't get your logic here, on this being the second time you've made this kind of comment. are the astros supposed to be perfect? are they not allowed to have the other team shut them down at that point?

No he just think the world champions are a joke.  Funny isn't it.

[Angel Oracle]

Parker at least had a 1-2-3 inning on 8 pitches.    Hoping that is the start of his ascent back towards his 2017 success

One mission accomplished today, not having to pitch anyone in the pen who's very overworked.

[Troll Daddy]

looks like it's cold OF today 0-11

[Ohtaniland]

We’ll be right back after these messages.

Because I pointed out that this pitching staff  issues a lot of walks? The numbers/facts back it up. Feel free to dismiss what I said with facts rather than emotion if you want. 

I'm more of a fan than you. Not my fault if you refuse to offer even the slightest criticism of the team.

[Troll Daddy]

Winning the series in Houston was HUGE

[Angel Oracle]

One change for the better for the Astros, their bullpen

Over 61 collective innings, 6 of their 8 relievers (Devenski, McHugh, Harris, Giles, Peacock, and Rondon) have a collective 1.75 ERA.  

That makes them even more scary.

[Docwaukee]

Nice to see they made a game of it.

No I dismiss you because your an ASS.  You enjoy trolling.  A lot of people are critical. Your boring with redundancy.

Wrong. I love this team and I have praised almost every player on this team so far.

You're just way too emotional and angry most of the time. Chill.  It's not healthy to get this riled up over a comment on a forum

 silly me I always thought someone who loves the team would say something occasionally positive about them...

[Make Angels Great Again]

I'll back up @stormngt and say that @Ohtani&Trout is an annoying ass on this board.

[Blarg]

Verlander

Tropeano

Before anyone complains about umpiring look first at what the umpire sees from each pitcher. Tropeano's misses were much wider than Verlander but he also got three out of zone pitches called in his favor while Verlander got two. 

Your TV set is the worst view to call balls and strikes. But you can't miss the fact Nick was more erratic with his control while Verlander's spray chart is much more focused.
